I thought we were going skiing Katie-haha.
Always beautiful Katie. I love the rich oils and the strokes in your paintings. Always so uplifting and thoughtful.

I love the effect You got with rough paint strokes on essential canvas as well as the dancers couple figure and the gamut You chose!

This painting is magical. The background and contrast with the dancers is superb. Love it.

It is said that dancers are stronger than athletes, now we know that painters can make what is heavy seem as light as a feather ...
